I feel lied to for all these years!
Where in the nursery rhyme does it say humpty dumpty is an egg? Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again....does not tell us at all that Humpty was an egg. However it's etymology has a number of variations, and it was in Lewis Carroll's 1871 book "Through the Looking Glass" (that used this rhyme), where the book's illustrator John Tenniel first drew Humpty as an egg, sitting on a wall.
An 1810 version of the rhyme also does not explicitly state that the subject is an egg because it was originally posed as the riddle as such:
Humpty Dumpty sate on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Threescore men and threescore more,
Cannot place Humpty dumpty as he was before.
Furthermore, "humpty dumpty" was an eighteenth-century reduplicative (linguistic root) slang for a short and clumsy person.

Wine Review #1
2008 Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc
From: Bordeaux, France
Price: $10.00
This outstanding little gem comes from Bordeaux, France. The importer of this white wine is Monsieur Touton Selection LTD. I mention this because the bottle does not indicate who the actual producer is of this wine. Guillaume Touton aka “Monsieur Touton” is the man behind this wine importing company. Mr. Touton works with several hundred producers from several countries and employs over 80 sales people whose offices are located in New York, Boston and Washington. His company has earned a reputation as being one of the most prolific importers of French wine on the East Coast within the United States.
After tasting this particular 100% Sauvignon Blanc for the first time this past New Year’s weekend, I can see why his company has earned such a great reputation on the East Coast.
The 2008 Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc possesses just the right amount of zesty sauvignon blanc flavors that let you know that it’s distinctively French, but the acidity that it delivers really pops nicely for an inexpensive white Bordeaux without the pucker up style of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I think my wife summed up this wine perfectly when she said, “It’s pretty”. I agree, for $10 dollars a bottle, there’s a whole lot to like about the 2008 Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc - especially if you’re an everyday wine drinker looking for a great everyday white to go with dinner.
I award the 2008 Monsieur Touton Sauvignon Blanc 3 stars out 4. You won’t mistake it for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but this classic and affordable French Sauvignon Blanc has just the right amount of zip on it!

3-legged Dog Wins 1st Place In NYC Shelter Contest
A three-legged pitbull mix that played in a game of doggie baseball has won "Best in Show" at a talent competition held by one of New York City's largest animal shelters.
Nine dogs competed in Friday's contest at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But it was Prince who impressed the judging panel the most with his feat of catching three baseballs.
The nearly 2-year-old dog lost one of his legs and had a pin inserted in another after being struck by a car.
The ASPCA's senior vice president of the adoption center says Prince's disability doesn't hold him back.
Gail Buchwald says he "struts his stuff like a winner."

Unemployed Ohio Man Chills Out In Extreme Igloo
Unemployed Ohio Laborer Redefines 'man Cave' By Building Extreme Igloo Complete With Cable TV
Jimmy Grey says he's been out of work for almost a year and needed a project to stay busy. So with the heavy snowfall this winter, the 25-year-old laborer got to work on an extreme igloo in his family's yard in Aquilla (ah-KWIL'-uh), about 30 miles east of Cleveland.
His four-room creation has 6-foot ceilings and an entertainment room. He powers the TV with an extension cord plugged into an outlet in the garage. He also ran wires for cable television with surround-sound stereo.
Grey says candles help add ambiance for nighttime get-togethers with friends, and the freezing temperatures mean that the beer never goes warm.

I wouldn't have stopped, now I may.. atleast for a moment
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition..
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.
TERRIBLE VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT
GAS STATION HOT DOG GIFT CERTIFICATE-You both like going to the stadium to watch baseball games and grab a few hot dogs. But this doesn’t mean she wants those hot dogs as her present. Thinking you’re being sentimental, you quickly stop at the gas station to get a gift certificate for a quarter hotdog……yeah at least you remembered your moments at the ball park, but you definitely forgot your sense of romance. This move is a definite FAIL!!!
